Abstract

Crossing Bridges is a design proposal located in Luxembourg city. The project deals deals with the city's specific urban territorial condition, as a clear physical and social issue. The distinctive topography of the city divides the city into plateaus and valleys with almost opposite identities. This dichotomy between the urban setting on the plateaus and nature the valley, together with the infrastructural issues caused by the valley, is the starting point for the creation of a new infrastructural hub. Not only will this become a new physical connection between the plateaus and valleys, it will also become a new cultural center that serves as an incubator for the people to explore the valley en escape the hectic city life.
